Shouldn't this be pointing to the paper being discussed?

If you would like to download the paper without having to sign up to academia.edu, the abstract and a download link can be found here: "http://philpapers.org/rec/CORSL-3".

Your link seems to be broken (due to a trailing %22). This one works: http://philpapers.org/rec/CORSL-3

Sorry. I've put links inside double quotes before, but this is the first time the second double quote has been tacked onto the link.

Thank you (to you and konz (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9705512 ))! I've been wanting to read this, but not enough either to sign up at academia.edu or to read it through that site (I like to read in Preview or on paper). Coming from math, where the arXiv is deservedly the gold standard, I've never understood why other disciplines use these terrible aggregators.

Yeah. Shitty blogspam posts need to die die die.

Dunno, there are some blogs which are quite reputable and often you will find interesting comments on their site. I wouldn't paint it as black and white.

LtU is hardly shitty blogspam. Commenters there are mostly PL researchers and the discussion is usually highly technical and gives better context to papers.

I agree; but, unfortunately, at the moment, the discussion to which I was looking forward seems mostly to be the usual contribution from Hewitt (http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/5170#comment-86211 and, more generally, http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/user/8437/track ), who likes to explain why every endeavour except his ActorScript is foolish and misplaced.

I don't care about the reputation of the site in general. My heuristic is as follows: is this link providing any editorial context for some original source? If the answer is no, I classify the link as blogspam.

This link right here is shitty blogspam. It deserves zero clicks.
